That's not on Ducky! Ur heavily pregnant and shouldn't be taking any risks what so ever. U should be relaxing with ur feet up and he should be doing all the work.

Tori that's great ur DH is being so good!! :)

Well mine keeps texting and calling. Asking to make one last go of it.
All I've said back is "we will talk Saturday"
That's it. All I've wanted was a family of my own but I want a happy one. I'm still thinking it over. I'm not going to jump into any desicion as it involves my happiness and DS's.

LuluJakey1 · 28/10/2014 22:32

He is a horror Ducky- is he ever nice? Seriously? How can he think that is OK?

We are off to PIL on Thursday morning, coming back on Saturday. Just a couple of nights to see them and grandmas and SIL and the boyfriend! MIL confided in DH that grandmas are 'very surprised she's courting after all these years, but he seems like a very nice young man' Grin

This will be the last time we see them until 23rd December, when they are coming up for the day because we can't go down there- well we could but as I will be like a whale by then I just want to stay at home. I will be nearly 39 weeks.

Ducky23 · 29/10/2014 08:36

I don't think he is Hmm

How's it going with SIL boyfriend lulu? You never know you could have a baby by when you next see your pil! Grin

Hi ladies,

No risky chair wobbling ducky just don't do it. It's not worth it and your H will have to learn to cope.

Tori sounds like my DH, he was at the booking appointment and has taken in everything the midwife said. This mornjnf he said goodbye today and I had rolled onto my back, so he made me roll back onto my side.

It's much easier when you have someone onboard to help you. He's reading a dad to be book at work and I think that's why he's suddenly become even more aware then he already was.

He has even booked me a cleaner for tomorrow, they are coming to do all the cleaning which is great since I have had guest staying for the last two weekends and have someone staying this weekend too. I was starting to get a bit Urgh about washing the sheets and towels, and getting the guest room and ensuite ready.

Ducky23 · 29/10/2014 10:11

Oooohhhh siarie! I want a cleaner! Grin You relax and put your feet up while you can!

Maybe if I got h a book it might help? Just because I think he has NO idea what it is like to be pg

OP posts:
Siarie · 29/10/2014 11:10

Yes it would deffo help! This is the one my DH has:

Expectant Dad's Survival Guide: Everything You Need to Know [[https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0091929792/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_vRmuub15H10VZ]]

I haven't had a cleaner before so I won't know what to do with myself. I feel like I need to check all my cleaning supplies are up to standard!

Siarie · 29/10/2014 11:11

Grr it won't link, you should be able to see the title in the link though

rogerlbo34 · 29/10/2014 11:59

Best of luck for next time! Hopefully everything will be more fine on the next time

LuluJakey1 · 29/10/2014 13:45

We once had a cleaner. She came along twice but she was a bit unreliable- late both times. And we felt we had to clean up before she came. And we just weren't comfortable with the idea. So we do it between us and discuss getting someone in to do a superclean of the oven!

DH is as good as me at cleaning Grin but he is untidy! He does some things without being asked but if I do ask he just does it without moaning on.

LuluJakey1 · 29/10/2014 13:54

How are you feeling today Cupcake? Are you at work?

Autumn has definitely arrived in the north-east. It is absolutely freezing here. Sunny but freezing cold. We have done a 5 mile walk this morning down a bridlepath, through a dene- saw a deer and a red squirrel and lots of beautifully coloured trees- down to the coast and back home along the coast. We stopped for something to eat at a little cafe where we had homemade vegetable soup, and spiced apple cake and cream. I am now exhausted, the heating is on and we are going to watch a film. Bliss!

Ducky23 · 29/10/2014 13:59

I don't know why lulu but that last post made me feel Christmassy!

I have spent the morning cleaning and then packing, unpacking, and packing again for my hospital bag. Everything in there now, just need to add things like snacks and then make up and phone charger Smile

Hello :) sorry been a busy day again! My gosh I'd love a cleaner! I need one to come in and do a deep clean of my house! I dunno why but I feel my cleaning just doesn't quite give it that sparkle haha Grin

I've been to the farm today with DS but he's been a nightmare! running off from me and then throwing tanteums on the floor! Feeling a little bit down today and apprehensive Bout Saturday. And the fact I'll probably no longer be TTC after this month. So if I havent conceived this cucle then that's it :( kinda sad as I just wanted that sibling for DS and now feel like the baby I lost may have been my last chance.
But I know I've got plenty of time to conceive in the future anyway :)
And possibly with a man who treats me like a queen?

Cupcake92 · 29/10/2014 14:40

Oooo Ducky exciting times!!! Grin love doing hospital bags!

Ducky23 · 29/10/2014 14:46

I feel like that cupcake! I think I could clean all day and it still isn't sparkly clean, but dm comes in and in half an hour it feels sparkly clean!

Good thigs could be coming your way cupcake! You might find that shortly youl have a man like Lulu's! And youl have a perfect little family Smile

I have three bags for hospital, a bag for me, a bag for ds and then extras (going home outfits/emergency supplies) I had to sit on my bag to close it! Blush Woops!

LuluJakey1 · 29/10/2014 17:57

Yes Cupcake, a man like DH-who is lying asleep on the sofa snoring loudly. I have had to leave the room I am so annoyed by it. I went into the kitchen to find he had made a mess in thete making himself an after his lunch sandwich, and now I have come up stairs and I can still hear him. And I tripped over his shoes which are just lying in the middle of the floor on his side of the bed. That's what you want! Grin

LuluJakey1 · 29/10/2014 18:00

Shall I wrap him up and pop him in the post?

Cupcake92 · 29/10/2014 18:28

Ducky I'd love a man like Lulu's! Grin that would be perfect! Lulu it's okay no need to post him u keep ur DH u deserve a man like him! :) ...... But does he have a brother?? If so I'll have him! Grin
I know I need an older man. I'm thinking 25 and older. Men my age are just awful haha. Maybe older than 25 then ? hmmm or I could just steal Channing Tatum? Perfect :)

Ducky I was like that with the hospital bags!! The midwifes asked if I was staying for the week! Haha!

LuluJakey1 · 29/10/2014 20:32

I told him I had offered him to you and you'd turned him down. He laughed and said I wouldn't be without him. I wouldn't Smile
No, he hasn't got a brother cupcake, his sisterwas gay but has a boyfriend now!
TBH when he was 21, he wasn't all that, according to him and his mum. Idle, drank too much with his mates, football mad, bit of a lad - in a studenty way. Typical young bloke without any direction or responsibilities, just enjoying himself, travelled a bit in Australia for 6 months. I don't think he grew up until his late twenties. He had no responsibilities in life until then- when he got a proper job, bought a flat and we met a couple of years later.

Cupcake92 · 29/10/2014 21:03

Hmm then I definitely need man nearer to 30 then! Is be very happy with yhat! But Im 22, not sure if a 30 year old would go for a 22 year old! :(

21questions · 29/10/2014 21:46

Im sure they would cupcake. Age is nothing but a number Wink

Dh is 10 years my senior but I swear I'm still more mature than him.
